For a moment, Duan Chen felt speechless, but he didn't refuse.
It wasn't that he wanted to cooperate with a girl, but when Lu Shuishui brought it up, something suddenly flashed through Duan Chen's mind.
A smile appeared on his face. "Alright, since you don't mind living together with a man, then I have no reason to refuse."
Lu Shuishui slightly wrinkled her small nose and complained coquettishly, "Why do you talk like that, Instructor? I'm just cooperating. Instructor, you don't happen to like me, do you?"
This little girl, when she's scared, she's scared; when she's timid, she's timid; and when she's acting cute, she acts cute.
Duan Chen shook his head helplessly, ignoring Lu Shuishui's continued words, and directly took Hill inside to submit the mission completion.
As soon as he walked in, he ran into Xiao Li. Xiao Li's eyes were a little anxious, and when she saw Duan Chen come in, her eyes lit up.
Seeing Xiao Li's expression, Duan Chen's heart couldn't help but tremble.
He secretly wondered, could it be that some troublesome mission was coming for him again?
Otherwise, why would Xiao Li have such an expression?
As expected, the next second Duan Chen thought this, Xiao Li, in her high heels, walked over with a clatter.
She had a joyful smile on her face and said directly, "You're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
If one didn't know better, they would think she was his girlfriend.
Xiao Li said urgently, "I don't know why, but this year's Beijing Special Training has suddenly been moved up. I just received news from Beijing."
"Duan Chen, you absolutely cannot miss this opportunity."
A spot in the Beijing regional special training?
Duan Chen's eyes went unfocused for a moment. It seemed like a long time ago, someone had also mentioned the Beijing regional special training to him.
But that person had now disappeared from his life.
It felt like a long time had passed, and yet it also felt like only a month had gone by.
He shook his head, tossing out all the thoughts in his mind, and looked at Xiao Li, frowning.
"Why would it be advanced by so much?"
Logically, it shouldn't be happening at this time.
Xiao Li frowned innocently and shook her head, indicating she didn't know.
She said with some urgency, "Let's not dwell on the specific reasons. The most important thing now is to quickly submit your spot!"
"Otherwise, if you delay, you might lose your chance."
A spot in the Beijing regional special training not only represented special training that could improve physical fitness, strength, and other levels.
Especially for those who excelled in the Beijing regional special training, they would receive certain rewards.
These rewards were often rare and hard to come by.
Furthermore, once one could go to Beijing for special training, they could use their accumulated points in the special exchange in Beijing to redeem items.
These were all subdued supernatural entities.
They couldn't be obtained elsewhere.
Moreover, most of these supernatural entities had only positive effects, with very few negative ones.
Like the single item they obtained in battle, its positive and negative effects were intertwined, making it difficult to separate.
The supernatural entities encountered during the Beijing regional special training had mostly been refined by Strippers, who had stripped away any removable negative effects.
Like the spatial ring he held, it was also a supernatural entity without side effects.
Duan Chen's eyes sparkled, becoming somewhat fervent.
He had actually been looking forward to the Beijing regional special training for a long time. Initially, he hadn't been qualified, but he figured his current level should be enough now.
He nodded and said gratefully to Xiao Li, "Thank you for reminding me. Please submit my name for me."
Xiao Li reached out and took Duan Chen's Advanced Agent certificate, then looked at Hill beside him.
She hesitated and said, "Miss Hill, what about you..."
Hill shook her head.
She said crisply, "I don't need this."
Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, she didn't really want Hill to be involved either.
There was only one spot for special training from Su City.
After all, Su City had always been overlooked; it wasn't a prosperous city, and it always encountered disasters.
It was like the New York airport in the comics.
Or maybe it was the Platinum Tower.
Regardless, it was a place prone to disasters, with a geographical location comparable to Morocco.
It was a good thing that Hill wasn't competing for Duan Chen's spot, as Hill didn't belong here and might return to her own place at any time.
At that point, all of Su City's investment would be in vain.
Xiao Li, being a native of Su City, naturally didn't want to see such a thing happen.
In her heart, she silently apologized to Hill.
Duan Chen didn't think that much. He pondered why the Beijing regional special training had been moved up so suddenly, but he couldn't come up with any results.
Then he inquired about Ming Yan.
"How is Sister Ming Yan now? Has her body recovered?"
Xiao Li nodded and said with a sigh, "She has recovered quite well. The President had already gone to Beijing before she recovered, and she hasn't finished dealing with her matters there yet."
Moreover, there were still follow-up matters regarding the Charm Banknote to handle.
Duan Chen nodded, indicating he understood.
After receiving Duan Chen's identification, Xiao Li rushed to the machine without delay, logged into the official Spiritual Energy Practitioner website in the logistics department, found the Beijing Special Training section, and proceeded with the registration, entering his identity information. Soon, a successful registration message popped up.
Not everyone could register, and even if they registered successfully, they would be reviewed for eligibility.
For someone like Duan Chen, with no one else in Su City registering, and others referring specifically to Advanced Agents, Duan Chen, being the sole applicant, would naturally obtain a spot in the Beijing special training.
If there were other applicants, Beijing would arrange for them to negotiate, or even for three people to negotiate.
After all, Su City only had one spot to go to Beijing for special training.
This place was truly quite impoverished.
Duan Chen couldn't change this; it wasn't something that could be altered in a short period.
After successfully registering, Xiao Li excitedly ran out with his identification.
Her face was somewhat flushed. "Registration is successful! You can leave after today ends!"
"You must do well and bring glory to Su City! And perhaps you'll even see the President there."
Duan Chen nodded.
A flicker of doubt crossed his mind.
This was happening too fast. Why the rush?
Was something going on in Beijing?
